You said above that the country where Maru was born is relevant to her murder. Is it the U.S.? In America? Europe? Western Europe? Africa? Asia? Oceania? Do we need to find out the exact country? It is probably the US.

Would she still have been murdered had she not been at this particular place at this particular time?She might have been murdered in a different place & at a different time from the actual ones.

Was she murdered in someone else's house? The murderer's house? Did she go there during her search for information about her biological parents? Was she lured into the house, raped and killed? The inevitable shot in the dark, I know :-)

One dealt with pedophiles who answered Internet queries by adopted xchildren searching for their birth parents. The pedophiles posed as the parents, lured children to thier homes, then raped & killed them. Thanks for sticking with this gruesome puzzle long enough to solve it & please check out my innocuous new one at the bottom of the page.
